Mark your calendar for our first Community Exhibit

As we reported last month, Mark Andersen has been working on a new program of music to accompany a special event at Trinity Episcopal Church on Saturday on May 16th. A selection of entries from the Spring Festival will be exhibited at the church with some sculptures and paintings from his personal collection. Mark your calendars! You won't want to miss this one-day opportunity!
Trinity Church Exhibit and musical presentation
Trinity Church is located at 1202 N. Chestnut Street, Lumberton, NC 28358. The event is Saturday, May 16, from 1:00-4:00 pm.
Watch this space for other opportunities to see some of the rich local arts that bloom around Robeson County. We love Lumberton and the warm reception we have here, the only thing better is to share what comes into the Guild - often from the local communities around the County in which the artists themselves live. Let us know if you have some suggestions for venues in your local communities that may be interested in hosting a short visit. Thanks in advance!

Upcoming Quarterly Meetings!

OK, here is the 2026 Quarterly Members Meetings schedule! These regular meetings are scheduled for the 4th Thursday of the ending month each quarter: March 26, June 25, September 24, and December 17, 2026. We're looking forward to a busy, fun New Year, our Fifth Anniversary year! Join us and let us know what you would like to see!

For those who noticed, this is a change from last year; hopefully they will work out a bit better for people. Thank you everyone! It seems 2026 is going to be, well, interesting! Keep in touch, even if you miss some of the meetings. Happy New Year!
